We collect the personal data that you provide to us yourself in connection with the recruitment process, such as your CV and personal letter.

If we have used the services of a recruitment company, we collect the personal data that the recruitment company has provided to us.

Normally we obtain assessments about you from reference persons in the final stages of the recruitment process. In such cases we collect the personal data that the reference person provides about you.

In certain cases we collect information that is generally accessible, such as social media, as documentation for review of an application.

In connection with the signing of an employment contract we check the information that you have provided against public records to ensure that we have correct information about you.

We use the information we have collected to manage the recruitment process. More specifically, we use the information to accept and review your application documents (such as your CV and personal letter), and to evaluate your application. It is necessary that you provide the information we need to be able to evaluate your application. We also use your information to communicate with you during the recruitment process.

We want to be able to save your information for future recruitment. In connection with your submission of an application, we ask for your consent to this. It is entirely voluntary to provide your consent, and you can withdraw consent that you have given at any time.

In certain cases we perform various types of controls, tests and suitability tests as part of the recruitment process. In connection with your submission of an application we ask for your consent to use your personal data for this purpose.

We use your personal data to evaluate and follow up the recruitment process. More specifically, we do this to produce reports and statistics on the number of applicants per position and in general.

We must use your personal data to meet legal obligations of the ICA company in question. For example, we use your personal data to meet the requirements of the Employment Protection Act (Lagen om anställningsskydd (LAS)).

We use your personal data to address and meet legal requirements, such as in a dispute or legal process.

We share your personal data with our vendors who help us with, for example, IT services or to perform various controls and tests. These companies may only use your personal data in accordance with our instructions, and they may not use your personal data for their own purposes. We are responsible for how your personal data is processed by the vendors who perform work for us.

The vendor of our HR system is in the USA and has undertaken to protect your personal data in the same way that we do by registering in the Privacy Shield Framework. You can read more about this framework on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s website.

Prior to any possible employment we must in certain cases share your personal data with pertinent authorities. We do this to
• meet the legal obligations that apply for the respective ICA companies (for example, to verify the eligibility that is required for the position), and
• to manage and meet all types of legal requirements (such as in connection with a legal process or a dispute).

In certain cases we share your personal data with trade unions and employer organisations. We do this to
• meet the legal obligations that apply for the respective ICA companies (such as the negotiation and information obligations in connection with managerial appointments), and
• to manage and meet all types of legal requirements (such as in connection with a legal process or a dispute).
